Doing Great

We got a chance to go to see dad today. It was great to see how good he is doing. Nate went with me. He hadn't seen dad in a few weeks. He was amazed at how well dad was doing. Totally talking and breathing on his own. He still has the trec - but hopefully for only a little longer. Dad is a little frustrated with the amount of physical therapy they are doing. He would like more of it - he wants to get out of there and go home. He is eating a total 'general' diet now. No restrictions. Mom has to help feed him. He is able to get a cup of water up to his mouth with the straw. Working on utensils - but not quit yet.

We do have big news in our family that we would love your prayers for. My niece, Kelsey (Missy's daughter), had a bike accident on the Kent Trails with her youth group yesterday. She has a fractured skull and a small brain bled. She at the Butterworth hospital. She is experiencing a LOT of pain and a huge headache. So far the CAT scan was the same today as yesterday which is good news. When she is able to swallow her meds she can go home. She will probably not be able to do any sports in the upcoming season. She also turns 16 in a few weeks. Not sure if that will affect her driving or not. It sounds as if she had a small seizure after she fell and was unconscious. Please keep her, her parents, and mom & dad in your prayers.

Blessings on your week!
